Some worst fans got to go to a Canning dinner for Alannah. Apparently she was suspiciously extremely intelligent- ie, if she’s so fucking smart, why is she in a hole like Canning, covering some of Perth’s most crapulous suburbs? They saved me a balloon. Another suburb I’ve never heard of, Dudley Park? Google maps puts it in crabtown.

68 Cambridge Street Coonaroo QLD seems a sad place for such a proud balloon to have come from.

Really hard to say whether having MacTiernan as a candidate for Canning is something useful for a person of her talents (and besides, there’s already the Armadale Line). But anything would be better than having the Wiberwals’ Don Randall, a timeserver if there ever was. At least you could count on her to add to the canon of withering rhetoric, in the fine tradition of numerous Federal ALP MHRs who have gone before her.

When I worked in that neck of the woods (thank God I’ve never lived there), I had this burning desire in the back of my mind to do some alteration to the sign outside Randall’s electorate office in Kelmscott, inverting his slogan “You talk, I’ll listen”, into the more appropriate “I talk, you’ll listen”. Only reason I didn’t go ahead, beyond my good standing with the Law, was the high likelihood that such subtle protestations would go over the heads of the local boganry and simply get lost amongst the static of mindless “[insert tag name] woz ere 10” tags that are du jour along that corridor.

Apart from Fremantle (a begrudging concession to SW and other contributors, though it does frequenty, quite literally, stink like shit), is there anywhere south of the mighty Swan that doesn’t stink like shit?

That would be the other side of the Peel black hole, amirite. Actually, it’s inaccurate to describe Peel as a black hole. Real black holes attract everything, even light. Peel attracts poms and bogans. (Interesting fact – Murdoch Uni staff frequently refer to the Peel “campus” as The Gulag).

You forget the NSFW warning Orbs, but still a timely reminder of “Cannibalism”.Whenever I see the aptly name Mal Brown two things come to mind ,diabetes and Cheryl. Yes I’ve still got that copy of Penthouse and my how acrobatic she was. Oh oh, it’s starting to ache.

Anybody who can source a ballon in Queensland and ensure it ends up in the right electorate on the other side of the country has my vote. It would have been a shame if it blew off course into somewhere more scenic (but less marginal) like Curtin.
